Abstract:

184 plots from larch (Larix Mill.) forests across China were sampled to characterize the height-diameter relationships and investigate the effects of structure and climate on them based on the power function H = aDb. The results showed that the height-diameter relationship differed greatly among species: b-value of Larix gmelinii (0.65±0.11) and L. olgensis (0.68±0.10) were significantly higher than L. mastersiana (0.51±0.17) and L. potaninii (0.54±0.15) (F=2.34, P=0.026). These differences were significantly influenced by mean annual temperature, but no statistic relationships were detected between stem density, total basal area and mean annual prepetition against b-value. These results indicated that as mean annual temperature increased, a higher proportion of biomass was allocated into diameter growth than height growth (R2=0.09, P<0.001).

摘要:

基于幂函数H = aDb, 对我国广泛分布的8种落叶松属(Larix Mill.)乔木184个样方胸径(D)与树高(H)的相关生长关系进行分析, 并探讨林分密度、林分总胸高断面积、年均温度和年降水量对相关生长系数(b值)的影响。结果表明, 相关生长系数在不同落叶松属间存在显著差异(P<0.05): 东北地区的兴安落叶松林(0.65±0.11)和黄花落叶松林(0.68±0.10)的相关生长系数显著高于西南地区的四川红杉林(0.51±0.17)和红杉林(0.54±0.15) (F=2.34, P=0.026)。林分密度和总胸高断面积不能解释b值的空间变异(P > 0.05), 但年均温与b值显著负相关(R2=0.09, P<0.001)。研究结果说明落叶松属的不同种之间胸径-树高关系不同, 且温度可能是导致不同落叶松林分胸径-树高关系存在差异的主要原因。
